Because I needed to.

That's the complete answer. Honest to god.
I just wanted to be able to demonstrate how a site (even a fake one) can be constructed on Pretzel in just a couple of hours (as I did today).
Don't judge this site too harshly, because it's completely fake and really has no purpose other than to demonstrate what a sample front facing consumer site might look like for an open source project on Codeplex.
Eventually we're planning to have Pretzel running on Codeplex back-end to act as a supporting framework for project owners to create consumer focused pages for their projects. Much like GitHub Pages does today.
